There was something incredibly cheerful and wearable about 3.1 Phillip Lim's fall 2014 line, which he showed at the Skylight at Moynihan Station.

"When I think about clothes, the relationship is like with your best friend," Lim told us after his show.

Indeed, from his chunky-heeled boots to the yummy crocheted pullovers to his caramel coat with removable collar, his clothes were fun, cool and totally accessible. And his price points are, and have always been, reasonable.

The inspiration was "Soleil. The sun. This season is the first time I put a name to it. This is a particular woman who is like the sun and comes out bright and we orbit her. She's a curious woman who inhabits a world between pop and culture," Lim told us.

His celebrity customers range from Solange Knowles to Kate Hudson to Diane Kruger. "I appreciate them. They're a part of popular culture," he says of boldfaced fans.

A few of the other notables this Fashion Week:

1. We've noticed an almost total lack of celebrity front-row madness. Yes, there's an A-lister here or there. And we'll see what goes down at Marc Jacobs, generally the most star-studded show, but this season has been almost uniformly about the clothes, not the famous bodies wearing them. Which is really very refreshing.

2. Speaking of Marc Jacobs, the designer opened a Daisy pop-up store, where you paid for products with tweets, Instagram pix and Facebook posts. It closed Sunday night. The campaign generated more than 13,500 Twitter mentions and 4,300 Instagram mentions.

3. Supermodel Karlie Kloss donned the Jawbone UP band at Monday's Carolina Herrera show. The device basically tracks your life - how much shut-eye and exercise you get. Yes, even glitzy models need a little help.

4. And the WWD beauty reporters are donning the $1,500 Google Glass device while covering backstage.
